Nope. Readymix will only give you about 30 minutes to move the concrete (3 to 4 tons). A chute through your house is not necessarily a good idea. If the area is cleared and levelled the shuttering set up 3 tons in gorilla buckets with one on the mixer, one on the buckets and one laying the concrete should be an OK day.

No way - can’t imagine how many bags of it you’d need or how much it would cost that way.
I hand mixed a just over half a tonne of concrete last weekend and I’ve only just recovered (2m x 1m)
Work out how much ballast/ cement you’ll need here: https://www.diydata.com/general_building/concrete_calculators/concrete_calculator_2_m.php

3x5m conrete patio base - no access other than through the house - readymix is the smart choice right?
Anyone DIY'd a readymix pour?
